That is probably my favorite color scheme I've seen on a new MB... very classy without being boring.

Trailer wheels looks sweet!

Seeing the pic of your transom step reminds me of the one thing that frustrated me most about my last MB... that step has no SeaDek on it, just textured fiberglass. Be careful... that textured fiberglass will not hold a wet foot. It gets really slick and that's where everybody will step getting in and out of the boat.

I really liked the classy lines this boat put off. I didn't want a real "baller" boat and wanted something I could be proud of yet still look pretty "cool" so to speak.
Being 37 and having 4 kids on the boat all the time I wanted more of a family look, without giving up the cool factor. I think this boat does that. I love the boatmate trailer, I really think it sets this boat off and sets it apart from other MB's out there. I am thinking of getting the same rims for my truck, but wondering if that would be too much.

Also, yeah my barn is great. Bought it about a year ago. It is 100 yards from my house on the lot next to me. Ended up stealing the lot and barn for half of what the guy paid for it. He was about to go bankrupt and I made him a low ball offer he took. Took alot of time to clean her up and get the acre of weeds under control but well worth it. As you can see I have alot of extra space for more toys down the road.

Anyway, when are you getting your boat? When you do maybe we can compare sizes of that step and see. That picture you had up had it covered that was for sure. Mine doesn't. What colors did you go with too..?

The 23 TWB has SeaDek on the step. But it also has a smaller step, so the size is different.

I went a few rounds with MB and my dealer last season about that step. Bottom line, I never could get a piece out of them to cover it. It has something to do with the fact that all the SeaDek on the boat comes pre-cut from SeaDek with a beveled edge. So it's not a simple as MB just cutting a piece out for the larger step on the 21 foot boats. I doubt they even have sheets of SeaDek sitting around their shop. They would have to go to SeaDek, just like you can do.

If you call SeaDek, they might be able to make one to match, complete with the beveled edge, which would be sick. I assume it would stick okay to the pebbled surface of that textured fiberglass. At a minimum they should be able to get you a piece that is just straight cut. If I still had my F21, I would have resolved this issue. But really, this is a minor gripe and should be an easy fix.

Oh, and I hate you for having that barn!! So dope. But with all that space, why settle for a 21 foot boat?? You could park TWO F24's in there!! Haha!!!

Good info DBC....very true about just calling SeaDek themselves. I think I may start there.

The 21' was bigger than my 23' Epic on the interior room. So, when I found that out I just didn't need to spend the extra 6-8k on the 2'. Decided that the extra space the 21' provided over my last boat was room enough. I think I could actually get 5 boats in that barn if done right. (4 would be easy but I think I could do 5 with some work)

Oh and the F24 isn't out of the question. Like CHATT I have sold my last 2 boats after one season, so may do that again after this year and try the F24. Depending on what I can get out of the Widebody in 4 months.

Thanks for all the compliments on the boat and garage. I am happy with the way both turned out and function. Now, if summer would just hit I would be more happy. 60s today. After 80s all week. Looks like weekend is high only in the 60s. I know for you die hard guys you ride in whatever, but can't with the family.

Nick - will do. Wonder why the 2011's have that and at least my 2012 doesn't have the SeaDek. hmmmmm why take out a smart thing?

Yeah I have talked to alot of guys when I had my Epics and gave several pulls on those boats. I am in Indiana and get to Tennessee usually once a year at Dale Hollow but this year we aren't going. Patoka Lake in southern Indiana is as far as I am coming this year it looks like. 3 weeks from now. Where are you at?

If you have never been there it is well worth the trip. Lake is amazing. Bad part is it is in the middle of nothing. So no cell phones, hell no towns really. But clear clean water and huge so you can always find glass.

Barn needs more toys for sure, thinking Quad for me and two small ones for my 2 boys. (my girls can ride too if they want) Also, down the road thinking basketball goal in there along with netting to hit golf balls.

Who are your MB dealers in southern Indiana and western Kentucky? I live in Dallas, but my parents have a place on Kentucky Lake. Would love to know whose MB region that is. Great looking boats, just got mine last week!

My guess would be Billy Taylor from Performance Watersports. I'd be happy to give them a pull in a few weeks when my boat shows up if they are interested.

We have had 60's all weekend here so no shots of boat or wake on water. I promise I will get them, but with kids and all we aren't on the water like alot of you on here. I am not sure on comparision yet from my Epic to my MB. As soon as I ride enough to compare I will shoot out a thread in comparsion. My hope is MB is actually not quite as steep and a bit more beefy. We will see. I know for now the surf wave is hands down WAY WAY better. I have had my kids on it and had it as big as I could STOCK and she looked great. Again full comparison's to come, but surfing I can already tell is much better.

Yeah not sure the storage I have is quite big enough for the boat. But I will have to make it work. Sorta depressing I know...

Thanks for all the compliments. I love how no one really has posted anything similiar to my MB yet. Means I found something that is exactly what I wanted. Classic yet unique!

Nice boat love the simplicity of it and the fact that it still has the same tower as the 2010 models. I thought they came
Out with a new tower do the Mb's?

Yea its on the new 24, not sure if they are offering it on all the boats though. That tower looks nicer than the new one....not a fan of the forward facing towers unless they are solid cast alum like the old bu's and the new tiges.
